One More Reason to Wander
You don’t have to have a shopping list. You don’t have to buy anything.
Just get out there and explore a little. A big part of awareness is simply being out there and being visible. So let’s show off those cool white canes, those amazing guide dogs and the incredible people who use them—and BE SEEN!
Directions:
The closest Metro stop is King Street.
BUS: From the King Street Metro you can take DASH bus lines 30, 31, or the King Street Trolley to the King and Patrick Street stop.
RedRocks and the POB Look Again Resale Shop will be one block away.
All three bus options are free and all pick up and drop off at the bus bays directly outside the King Street station.
WALK: You can also walk from the Metro Station straight down King Street. The walk is about 10 blocks.
If you are taking MetroAccess, Uber, or Lyft, you may want to ask to be dropped off at 105 South Alfred Street. It’s much quieter and easier to pull over there than directly on King Street. The Look Again Resale Shop is directly on the corner of King and Alfred; RedRocks is the next door on King Street.
